Only 1, a Nikon D-70 backed up by a Cannon AE-1

I have a Nikon D-70 and a Cannon AE-1 SLR film camera. As a real estate photographer I needed detail and the ability to shoot a lot of pictures on the cheap. Also, if I shoot in RAW I can get a decent 16 -20'' blow up. The Nikon is great for this and I always have the Cannon when I really need that special shot on film. The D-70 was my first digital because it was the first non professional camera that provided all the options I needed. However, for total quality it is always back to film. Nothing beats a good quality film print !!!!!
Nikon and Canon

This is my 2nd digital camera. 1st one I bought to enter
the world of digital photography but after very short
time use my son took it when he was going abroad.
So very recently I bought a new one (Canon Powershot A620)
1st one was A60. I been an amateur photographer quite
long years. I always used 35mm SLR. Now I want to learn
and practice with digital.
Any advice well come.
My problem are loading the imiges in computer.How to put them in different folder and short out the pictures.

I started 6 years ago with the HP C230... back in the day were one mega pixal was good and awesome. 3 Years later, I loved the the Nikon coolpix 2500, superb camera even despite its unconventional body design. I still use that camera today. 4 years after I got the Nikon, I moved upto the Canon Rebel XT, and I've loved it since I got it last november. Its the ultimate all-in-one package. Even the lense it comes with is decent.

Currently I use an Olympus E-1 and a Konica KD-500. My old rule was if your your going to use a top end Digital SLR it's best to dump it - resell - at around a year old.
The E-1 is the first practical SLR digicam I've used and operates practically like a film camera. It will probably break the 1 year rule as the newest stuff out there isn't any better yet.
The Konica is a good point and shoot camera that fits in the shirt pocket. It's the camera I carry most of the time. It has a lot of distortion on the wide angle photos. Quite typical af the pocket camera's
Gone digital SLR on my second one

I still love my first digital camera, an Olympus 755 which takes really great photos - if you have the time to wait until the shutter finally opens. I missed a few interesting shots, when the subject (such as a dog) had run out of the frame long before the picture was taken.
Since I had a few Canon lenses from my EOS A2E, I decided to spring for a Canon 20D. It was the right decision, the images are great, the interchangeable lenses give me a lot more freedom, and the shutter is fast enough, even for the occasional home run at a sporting event.
Now I am seriously contemplating getting the newly announced Canon 30D which will give me a backup body and use the same set of lenses I already own.

My first Digital Camera

I bought a Kodak V530. I have used other Digital Cameras, but the V530 is the best one I have ever used.
The one thing I like, other than the super features, is the size of the camera. It is small and very thin.
You can slip it into your shirt pocket easily.
With a 1 gig memory card, you can take about an hour (contiuous)sound movie. It is just a great camera.

After going through several film cameras ranging from point-and-shoot to a 35mm SLR Canon AE-1 Program,
I went digital with a 1.3 megapixel Panasonic PV-SD4090 that recorded to special 120 mb floppy disks. It was great being able to store nearly a thousand photos on one disk, but the disks got really hard to find and recording is slow, so I recently upgraded.
I got a 5 megapixel Panasonic DMC-FZ5 Lumix that is half the size and less than half the weight of the old Panasonic, with many more exposure modes, better zoom, better movie capacity, and fast recording on tiny SD chips.
Just one beauty!

Fuji Finepix S620Zoom. Love it but know I don't use all of the features of it as I could.
Just one - a Canon EOS Rebel 350 digital SLR

I guess I would be considered an advanced amateur. It took a long time for me to give up my collection of 35mm camera equipment. There are 3 interchangeable bodies, and heaven knows how many lenses, all from a company that doesn’t even make 35mm SLRs any more, much less than digital SLRs. Of course that means much is useless with the new camera. The accessories like tripods, mini pod, Flash diffuser, flash mount for the pods, etc. are useable, but none of the lenses, filters, cable releases, etc. fit. I guess that’s what took me so long, the accessories.
I finally broke down and got the Canon EOS Rebel 350 Digital SLR. I also got a 17 – 125mm lens, (35mm equiv = X 1.6) and a Canon Speedlite Strobe.
I have yet to print anything, but I love the freedom from buying film and the cost of developing & printing, as well as the ease of E-Mailing pictures (at reduced resolution.)
The last time I used it was yesterday, a funnel cloud caught my attention. I’m north-east of Nashville, TN. but dodged the bullet. Got a fair shot. From my vantage point I couldn’t see to the bottom of it.
My enthusiasm for photography has been renewed!

I have only one and it was a gift. It is a cheap camera. It is a Argus DC1512. It takes o-kay pictures and is kinda cool becuase you can also use it as a camcorder. So far that is the only one I have owned.
